Benefits of technology
The invention is an attachment structure for an in-vehicle camera that can be fixed to the inner surface of a windshield of a vehicle. The structure includes two brackets: the first bracket that is attached to the windshield and the second bracket that holds the camera. The second bracket has elasticity and a pressing portion that holds the camera in place, preventing it from moving. The first bracket also prevents the second bracket from moving, ensuring stability of the camera. The technical effect is a secure attachment for in-vehicle cameras that reduces the risk of damage or interference during driving.
Problems solved by technology
In addition, since the bracket is fixed by adhesion to the inner surface of the windshield, it is impossible to replace the bracket only.
Therefore, maintenance related to the attachment of the in-vehicle camera cannot easily and efficiently be performed at low cost.
Thus, also in the case where the in-vehicle camera is replaced, the maintenance related to the attachment of the in-vehicle camera cannot possibly be performed easily and efficiently at low cost.

Embodiment Construction
[0066]A detailed description will hereinafter be made on a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0067]FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an attachment structure 10 for an in-vehicle camera according to the embodiment of the invention when seen obliquely from rear and below. The attachment structure 10 may be referred to as an in-vehicle-camera attachment structure 10 hereinafter. In addition, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a first bracket when seen obliquely from front and below, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second bracket when seen obliquely from the front and above.
[0068]It should be noted that directions such as the front and positional relationships such as a front end and a right side in the following description are directions and positional relationships in a case where a situation where the in-vehicle camera is attached by the attachment structure 10 is seen during forward traveling of a vehicle. In addition, in o...

An attachment structure for an in-vehicle camera includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket is fixed to an inner surface of a windshield. The second bracket holds an in-vehicle camera when the second bracket is attached to the first bracket at an attachment position. The first bracket includes a support portion and a first one-way engagement portion. The second bracket includes a pressing portion and a second one-way engagement portion. The pressing portion presses a pressed portion of the in-vehicle camera against the support portion and holds the pressed portion between the pressing portion and the support portion when the second bracket is at the attachment position. The second one-way engagement portion cooperates with the pressing portion to inhibit the second bracket from moving with respect to the first bracket when the second one-way engagement portion is engaged with the first one-way engagement portion.
Description
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE[0001]The disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-142658 filed on Jul. 10, 2014 including the specification, drawings and abstract is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to an attachment structure for an in-vehicle camera.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]There is a case where a vehicle such as an automobile includes an in-vehicle camera that is configured to be installed in a vehicle cabin and capture a road ahead of the vehicle for a purpose of obtaining and recording information on the road ahead of the vehicle or assisting a driver in driving the vehicle. A CCD camera can be raised as an example of the in-vehicle camera. The in-vehicle camera is attached, with a bracket, to a specified position with respect to the vehicle. The bracket is commonly fixed by adhesion to an inner surface of a windshield.[0006]The bracket used for attachment o...
